It's Still Life

1. Thankful that the publisher’s proof doesn’t require amendments because as the world turns, so does my desire not to stay fixated on one thing.

2. I am thankful that our Christmas shopping for each other is finished. Now to shop for the younger grandchildren who already have more toys than all the stuff in Hamley’s Toy Store since it was first established in London in 1760. 

3. I am thankful beyond word or image that that is over. At least for a few more months. 

4. I am thankful that this Yorkshire pudding was about as perfect as I’ve ever made. It was humungous! 

5. That when the overnight temperature drops to -4 degrees (C) that I stay warm under my goose down duvet (or dyne [dooo-na], as we call them in Denmark), and I’m thankful for that.

6. I am thankful for the concept that dark winter afternoons are caused by the light taking a rest. Sometimes it’s helpful to know people who can shed light on things.

7. How many is that … 6. This is going to be a difficult week to find 10 things to be thankful for because it’s been a week to forget. Quickly.

8. Ah, yes. I am thankful that I forget things that are forgettable, like this entire week. 

9. “Thank you” … and there’ll be no making it go poof, and I’m thankful for that, and giggling. 🤣

9.1 If I can think of something for this number, I’ll come back and add it, and I’m thankful to be able to tweak things.
